Someone threatens your neighbors. This will not stand.
"I hate bullies. So when Jack told me that someone threatened Betty I was ready to start in no time."
Solution[]
Jack Calltrain: Hi, it's Jack. Jack Calltrain. I need your help, detective. I had to leave town for a few days, and Betty's in trouble!
Detective: Please, tell me what happened.
Jack Calltrain: Two days after I left to visit my parents in the countryside, she called me, all shaken up. I couldn't get much out of her, but I know she was threatened by someone.
Detective: This sounds really bad. I'll take care of it.
Witnesses[]
Betty Mayday: I'm... I'm not feeling well. I can't sleep, I leave the lights on at night...
Detective: I'm not sure that interrogating Betty is such a good idea. I should ask the neighbors instead.
Detective: OK, just lock the door and wait for me. I'm sure I'll manage to find the culprit in no time.

If you fail:
Detective: Nobody saw a thing, and Betty is still a mess. I`ll have to call the police.
If you win: Detective: Lucy, you live here. Did you see the whole incident?
Lucy Gordon: Yeah. The perp tried to barge into Betty's apartment, yelling threats and waving a knife. I wanted to arrest him, but he got away. Oh, if I could get my hands on him!
Lucy Gordon: I've reported it at the station, but you know how it is - we're seriously understaffed. I can count on you to handle this, right?
Suspect identification: A Face To Remember[]
Detective: Luckily, Lucy gave me a pretty good description. I'm looking for a big, mean guy.

Solution: Martin Tucker
If you fail:
Detective: I don't think I recognize him. The streets of this fine city are riddled with thugs, after all.
If you win:
Detective: Yeah, this is the guy. A regular street thug. All muscle and no brains. Someone must have hired him to scare Betty.
City search: Once a Thug, Always a Thug[]
Detective: Thugs like that usually attract atention in public places. Maybe someone has seen him.
The thug you are looking for is:
- in the distance of 1 from water
- not more than 2 from a hotel
- more than 3 from cafés
- not more than 1 from a shop
- On the map there are 2 cafés
- On the map there are 3 shops (not said in clues)
If you fail:
Detective: Shucks, I think I lost him. Maybe he isn't a dumb thug like I thought.
If you win:
Detective: All right, I got him. He's in the fast food joint, loud and annoying as usual.
Crime scene search: A Harsh Lesson[]
Detective: Great, he is still hanging around the diner. I should get some info who is his next target. And then I'll teach him a lesson.
If you enter the room east of kitchen:
Detective: I think I heard weird noises coming from the bathroom...
If you enter the bathroom:
Martin Tucker: The toilet's occupied. Hey, I'f you're the waiter, fill my glass will ya? It's the table closest to the bathroom door!
Detective: Looks like the thug is in the toilet, but he won't be there forever. And now I know he's sitting close to the bathroom door...
If you examine the key on the leftmost table in the room east of kitchen:
Detective: Nothing interesting at the table, but I see he has a car. Maybe I'll find something more interesting inside it.
If you fail:
Detective: No luck. I could call the police, but will Betty's testimony be enough? I'm not sure she'll even want to file charges. She seems so upset right now...
If you win:
Detective: What do we have here? The address of a next victim. Hmmm... it's the same floor where officer Gordon lives. I'll just change the apartment number...
Finale[]
If you fail:
Detective: I'm sorry, Jack. I did all that I could, but the thug is still on the loose.
Jack Calltrain: Yeah, I know. We decided to call the police. Maybe that'll help
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: You won't believe what happened to me today! That thug tried to get into my apartment!
Detective: I probably should be worried... about the thug, right?
Lucy Gordon: Ha-ha! I bruised him a bit. He's in jail now. When he wakes up, I'm sure to ask him why he tried to break into my place.
Detective: About that... I changed the address of his next target to yours, so you could catch him red handed. I know you could handle him, Lucy.
Lucy Gordon: You did what?! That's totally against the rules! But at least Betty is safe. Argh! I don't know if I should hug you or hang you!
Detective: You know I don't play by the rules, Lucy. And I do prefer the former.Lucy Gordon: Ha-ha! You always had a soft heart for crooks. I bruised him a bit and threw him in jail. When he wakes up, I'm sure to ask him why he tried to break into my place.
Detective: About that... I changed the address of his next target to yours, so you could catch him red handed. I know you could handle him, Lucy.
Lucy Gordon: You did what?! I know you did it for Betty, but still... you were threading thin ice, girl.
Detective: You're not the only one who likes to take a risk from time to time!Trivia[]
This case can be played before Brilliant Burglary, meaning that the detective encounters Martin Tucker in the Salty Oyster after arresting him.
